The La Banda team was superior and beat Boca, adding their second victory on the tour to Buenos Aires.
With a full Bombonerita, the La Banda team won its second victory on tour in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Olympic, who just beat Obras, came out strong despite the absences and defeated Boca 82 to 73. With this result, those led by Leo Gutiérrez are the second classified for the Super 20 Cup, along with Quimsa.
At the beginning of the game, Boca took advantage thanks to the work of Marcos Mata and Manu Rodríguez who found ways to reach the basket. But as the minutes passed, the figure of Juan Pablo Arengo, author of 18 points in the first half, grew. He was the main driver of the visitor’s advantage, escaping to ten (36-46) thanks to the effectiveness in the quarter (10/10 on field goals).
Perimeter scoring made it difficult for Xeneizes, who couldn’t find solutions to Mainoldi (0/4), and had to find more reliable shots in the paint. Olimpico strengthened on the front line, and continued to take every opportunity to punish from 6.75m. A block by Sebastián Vega seemed to change the chip for Boca, who sped up their game a little and with a few bombs they got closer to six, heading into the last quarter (55-61). Apart from a few flashes, the actions were always dominated by the Olympic, who took advantage of the mistakes of the home team and added to the most important moments of the game.
The figures:
The great figure of the night was Juan Pablo Arengo, author of 34 points, with an amazing 8/9 in doubles and 5/8 in triples. Patricio Tabarez followed him with 15, while Nicolás Romano completed the offensive trident with 12 goals. In Boca, the scorer was José Vildoza, author of 19 points.
What’s next:
With this game, Boca ended its 19 game streak in the first round of the regular season. Their next match is on Monday, February 5 against Zárate Basket at La Bombonera. Olympic, for its part, will continue the tour and visit San Lorenzo on Wednesday the 31st at the Roberto Pando Sports Center.
